TOILET DEVICE.

Application filed October 6, 1922. Serial No. 592,789.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM EDWARD WYATT, a subject of the King of GreatBritain, residing at Toronto, in the Province of Ontario and Dominion ofCanada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in ToiletDevices, of which the following is a specification.

My said invention consists in a device intended primarily as atoothbrush holder and having for its purpose to provide such a holder inwhich the toothbrushes and brushes of like character may be supportedand protected so that they will be maintained in a sanitary condition.

A further object is to provide a transparent covering and enclosingmeans for the brushes whereby they may be visible and subject to thegermicidal action of sunlight while protected from dust and accidentalcontact with persons or objects.

Referring to the accompanying drawings which are made a part hereof andon which similar reference characters indicate similar parts,

Figure l is a perspective of my device in place on a wall, and

Figure 2 a horizontal section of the same.

Said device consists of a bracket comprising a plate 10 for attachmentto the wall and a wire support 11 terminating in the form of a gooseneck to the lower end 12 of which a plate 13 is supported in the edgesof which are slots or recesses 14 in which the brushes are supported. Aguiding and clamping member 15 is fixed in any convenient manner on themain shank ll of the bracket being preferably held by the clampingaction of the bend at 16. The clamping member is adapted to embrace thesides of the glass 17 and hold it from moving, the glass being adaptedto surround the brushes and the plate 13 and thus protect said brushesfrom dirt and keep them in a sanitary condition while at the same timeexposing them to the light,

Obviously I may utilize a cover of material other than glass and maymake other changes within the spirit of the invention, the true scope ofwhich is indicated in the appended claim.

Having thus fully described my said invention, what I claim as new anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

In a tooth brush holder, a bracket having one end adapted to be securedto a wall and having a portion extending downwardly therefrom and bentoutwardly and upwardly to form a U-shaped portion, the upwardlyextending leg of the U-portion of said bracket being bent outwardly anddownwardly to form an inverted U-shaped portion, the free leg of saidlast-mentioned downwardly extending portion having a circular platesecured thereto adapted to support a drinking glass in an invertedposition over said inverted U-shaped portion with the intermediate legof the U- portions in supporting contact with the inner side of theglass, said circular plate having a slightly less diameter than theinternal diameter of the glass, whereby the periphery of said platecontacts with the inner surface of the glass adjacent the upperperipheral edge thereof, said plate havlng a series of recesses spacedaround the periphery for receiving brushes, and a clamping membercarried by the bracket having portions curved to conform with the glassand extending in opposite directions about the glass to embrace the sameat substantially diametral points, substantially as set forth.

In witness whereof, Ihave hereunto set my hand and seal at Washington,District of Columbia, this 27th day of September, A. D. nineteen hundredand twenty-two.
